Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 730 AM EST Tue Nov 24 2015 Valid 00Z Wed Nov 25 2015 - 00Z Wed Dec 02 2015 The 24/00Z forecast cycle guidance appeared to be in line with the current Hawai'i forecast philosophy. Short-term... The 24/00Z GFS is a slightly faster solution (versus the ECMWF) --- with respect to the frontal progression through the forecast area. But both are reasonably centered on the 26/00Z-26/12z time frame when a moderate northeast tradewind circulation becomes re-established across the entire island chain. and takes control of the low-level flow pattern. Medium range...(Sat-Tue) All indications point to a strengthening upper-level ridge pattern---migrating from west to east along 25N---this weekend. For early next week, suggest blending the 24/00z ECENS/GEFS to handle the timing and trajectory of the next mid-latitude frontal progression. The GFS and ECMWF differ slightly with its strength, but generally have expect some slackening of the Trades around the 2/00Z time frame (late day 7). Vojtesak
